Until a few days ago, word about James Blake’s upcoming album was mostly rumors, but now Blake himself is starting to confirm that the follow-up to 2016’s The Colour In Anything actually is on its way. Earlier this week, Blake shared an official website for the record, which confirmed that the rumored title, Assume Form, was accurate. A page on French Amazon indicated that the album would be released on January 25, but now Blake has debunked that, because Assume Form will actually drop before that: A poster advertising the album has been spotted in London, and it says the record will come out next Friday, January 18.
